FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the construction and the specific enzyme-washed finish of the canvas.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, the Vans Authentic OTW series generally fits true to your standard UK shoe size.
Can I use these for professional skateboarding?
While inspired by skate culture, these are primarily lifestyle trainers. For high-impact skating, consider Vans dedicated Pro skate models.
How do I remove mud from the canvas?
Allow the mud to dry completely, then gently brush it off with a dry, soft-bristled brush.
What does the OTW designation mean?
OTW stands for 'Off The Wall', which is the heritage-focused line from Vans celebrating classic designs with modern updates.
Troubleshooting
Insole feels less supportive over time
Replace the standard insole with an aftermarket orthotic insert if additional arch support is needed.
Rubber sole edges have turned yellow
Use a specialized rubber cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and water with a soft toothbrush to gently scrub the white edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Vans trainers last as long as possible, start by ensuring you have the correct size. The Authentic OTW fits true to size for most men. To keep them looking fresh, avoid machine washing, which can damage the enzyme-washed finish and the adhesive on the soles. Instead, spot clean the canvas with a soft brush and mild soap. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the rubber from cracking or the canvas from warping. Regularly check the laces for wear and replace them to maintain a crisp look.
